Since their being shipped out of the china does that mean more should be shipped tonight while most of us are asleep or do they only shipped during our business hours?

Correct, I figure we'll see a flock of more tracking numbers around 5AM EST since it'll be 5PM their time. End of the day shipments.
 
It is a special shipping discount given to Communist countries. Think about it, 75% or more of all manufacturing of worldly goods takes place in Communist countries. Scary huh, to think that the whole world depends on communism.

I'm kind of thinking there's going to be a big batch of orders going out for Thursday delivery to stores. That's why ATT cut off pre-orders for Friday pick up. And then there will be daily shipments from here on out, the 17th being the last day for delivery on the 19th. Interesting question will be if any individual orders get out with the store shipments.
 
They are delivering UPS Air "Red Saver". Look at the 9th & 10th characters of your tracking number for the Service Code. Below is from UPS:

(13) UPS United States Next Day Air Saver ("Red Saver")

What is Red Saver?

Delivery Commitment Commercial Destinations:
Next business day delivery by 3:00 or 4:30 p.m. where UPS Next Day Air® delivery is committed by 10:30 a.m. or 12:00 noon, respectively

Mine shipped via: UPS Worldwide Express

Which is a next day delivery by 10:30 a.m. or 12:00 noon.

BUT, I would not be surprised if there was not a hold on these shipments. In other words UPS has them in China but will not release them until Wed. or Thurs. for shipment to the US.
 
Based on previous experience, I have full faith Apple will get its phones to their customers on time. Heck, I ordered mine at 8:30 AM today and I am still confident I'll get it. Spoke to at least 3-4 reps throughout today that made a point orders placed--even today-- would get to me by Friday.

So for all you early-order folks out there, just be patient! You'll get it Friday.
 
well..I just got off off the phone with business care and went to a local att store and what I got was the same answer: "you wont get iphone until after the 19th because they are the only ones who are going to have it on friday(stores) !! isn't it total BS ??! so I guess monday is the date

If they arrive at the store at 4:30, they then have to sort them, and call the customers to come get them. Plan on Saturday unless you live very close to a major UPS hub.

Where'd you figure out what the 13 means. Mine is 66.
 
Everyone might want to prepare themselves... Next Day Air Saver is by the end of the business day to residential address.

Exactly. I wouldn't be too surprised if many orders didn't show until Thursday afternoon/evening. (Speaking mostly for Apple.com pre-orders, thats as far as I know) We'll get 'em Friday!

The Interwebs! Not sure if I can find it again. 66 though is Worldwide Express. How did you order?

UPS: One or two business day delivery from Europe, Asia, and Latin America. 10:30 AM / Noon delivery.
 
Ah, cool thanks.

It says (On the UPS website for my number- 66):

Import:

* Delivery by 10:30 a.m. or 12:00 noon
* Next business day delivery from Canada and Mexico
* One or two business day delivery from Europe, Asia, and Latin America

So from Asia, one or two business day delivery, that's tomorrow/Wednesday!!

Excited:D:D:D:D:D

My tracking # has been added for my shipment..... I would be lieing if I said I wasn't a tad bit worried until that popped up.

Friday morning can't get here soon enough!

I ordered from Apple on Wednesday night, and just used their free shipping. Also, ordered a 32GB White 3GS, for delivery at my house (Northern VA)
